My website has only been up and running for about six months, but I am already receiving at least as many contacts from potential clients as I did with my former advertising in the Yellow Pages.  More importantly, the quality of the potential cases seems to have improved as well.  Finally, my overall advertising costs have been reduced by over 50% and that figure even takes into consideration the cost incurred for Findlaw to develop and produce my new website.

The bottom line - I couldn't be happier with my experience with FindLaw and I strongly recommend FindLaw to any attorneys wishing to improve their visibility to the public." 

-Steve Ryan
Arizona Insurance Bad Faith Lawyer

"In January 2009, I left a highly sought-after position with one of the largest law firms in the country to start my own practice. I planned on a 6-8 month ramp-up period in order to start covering my costs and paying personal bills, and a full year to return to my prior earnings. However, in less than two months, I have hired two contract attorneys, staffed a full-time receptionist, and have so many calls and requests for consultations that I am turning clients away. My earnings are, without exaggeration, 4-5 times what they were at a large, well-paying firm. Alex is a true rock star, and I am incredibly thankful I found him and FindLaw.com."

Cameron Hall, Esq.
Phoenix Employment Attorney

"One year ago I restarted my bankruptcy law practice after being in-house counsel for 7 years. Despite having over 30 years of experience and great credentials, my phone was not ringing. That changed when I was introduced to FindLaw and Alex Morris. Alex gave me advice that will change forever the way I market my practice. He is the highest level expert in his field; if lawyer marketing experts got lawyer certifications, he is board certified, AV rated, avvo 10, and chair of his section of the bar. Working with Alex is a pleasure, and when he talks, I listen.... and the phone rings."

"Alex Morris and FindLaw have both been instrumental in the growth of our business. Before working with Alex, we had a website that was virtually invisible online. Almost immediately after upgrading to a FindLaw template website we started ranking in the major search engines. More importantly, we started receiving phone calls and emails from prospective clients in our primary practice areas; tax law, probate and business law. In July we launched our new upgraded FindLaw custom website and we could not be happier with the way it turned out!"

-Stephen McFarlane
Arizona Tax Lawyer 

"Alex Morris and FindLaw have been a fantastic resource to our firm. As a start up law firm, we interacted with many vendors to get our firm operational. Findlaw's outstanding service and employees exceeded our expectations and set the bar high for the other vendors. We now say that we want to be the "Find Law" of the legal community. The website development process was understandable and actually fun. From development of the website to positioning on the web, Findlaw provided the help and guidance we needed to successfully market our firm."

"When Findlaw first approached me about a legal web presence I was skeptical.  I had tried internet marketing with two other companies and gotten no results.  After just a few months with Findlaw I was getting a consistent stream of potential new clients from the web."  In addition to creating a web presence that attracts clients, Findlaw has also provided excellant customer service.  I could not be happier with Findlaw and my new website."

-Jim Byrne
Phoenix wills and trusts lawyer

"I have been practicing law for nearly 30 years. Until recent years, my business primarily came from referals and, to a lesser degree, yellow page advertising. However, with the birth of the internet, the writing was clearly on the wall...to reach the widest audience, internet marketing was the future of advertising. Although I made a presence on other attorney-focused websites, it was not until I met Alex Morris from Findlaw that I truly understood how ineffective my other websites were. Not only did I not have the benefit of someone with Alex's keen experience , but I was never provided with sufficient education or support  to understand what needed to be done to achieve success on the internet. All of that changed because of Alex Morris. Alex took the time (and  lots of it) to thoroughly and patiently explain the importance of proper website construction, its relationship to the internet, and the keys to placement and positioning of the website on the various search engines. Alex had the talent to make simple what I had always thought was a foreign, indecipherable language. Not only did he succeed in educating me, but he and the Findlaw team made my Findlaw-created website successful beyond even Alex's ambitious projections. If you are not on the internet yet, you need to be. And if you choose anyone but Alex Morris and Findlaw to facilitate your transition, you will have done yourself a disservice. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious, punctual and he will always do what it takes to help you succeed. He and Findlaw are the best."

-Ken Chase
Arizona Commercial Litigation Lawyer

"While at my former law firm, we set up our internet marketing through Findlaw.  Our websites quickly raced to the top of most search engines.  It would be an understatement to say that we were pleased with the results.  When I opened my new law firm, I sought a quick, strong internet presence.  And of course, I once again contacted Alex Morris with Findlaw.  Within two weeks of my new website being published, I was getting a steady stream of hits.  Once again, I am very satisfied with the Findlaw's product and would strongly recommend Findlaw."

-Shane Harward
Scottsdale Personal Injury Lawyer

"Alex Morris and his team at Findlaw helped to bring my previous stodgy website into the current century. I have been thrilled with the results of his development team in translating the vision for my bankruptcy firm into a website that brings in clients. I receive compliments from new clients on a near daily basis claiming that my website was the main reason for choosing my firm for their legal services. Based on that alone, the website has paid for itself may times over."

-Mari Jo Clark
Phoenix Bankruptcy Lawyer

"I began advertising my family law practice with Findlaw approximately three and a half years ago.  At the time I was a solo practitioner with no employees and no aspirations for growth.  After advertising with Findlaw on a very limited scale I began to quickly realize that I would need to re-evaluate my business objectives as I was receiving more work from the Findlaw advertising then I could complete without hiring at least one paralegal.  At the time I decided that I would expand the firm to cover the increased volume of work and hired a part time paralegal.  As I increased my advertising with Findlaw I realized that I would have to continue to consider additional growth potential.  I believe that solely due to my Findlaw advertising, my practice has now grown to a firm with 3 lawyers, 2 paralegals, and a total of 9 employees.  As the advertising continues to provide more work than the current staffing can maintain, I am constantly evaluating the need for additional staffing.  Advertising with Findlaw is the reason for my firm's success and was the single most important business decision I have made since leaving a large firm and starting my own practice."

-Deshon Pullen
Phoenix Family Law Attorneys

"As a solo practitioner with limited advertising funds, I have found Findlaw to be an excellent conduit to potential clients. Although I have utilized print media such as billboards and newspapers, the cost-per-client proved to be significantly higher than advertising through Findlaw. To date, the vast majority of my viable cases originate from my internet advertising and Findlaw’s professionally-designed web sites. Having utilized a number of different web site developers and legal portals over the past seven years, I can say that Findlaw and my representative, Alex Morris, have consistently provided superior customer-oriented, pro-active service and have met or exceeded my expectations."

-David Patton
Arizona Medical Malpractice Lawyer, 

"I have been a Findlaw customer for close to three years now.  Choosing FindLaw as my web site provider has proven to be a great decision for my criminal law practice.  My optimized website consistently ranks high in the various search engines for the searches I want to be found for, leading to a steady stream of prospective calls and emails.  Alex Morris is the most talented and helpful Client Development Consultant with whom I have ever worked, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the high quality personal service Findlaw provides."

-William Foreman
Scottsdale Criminal Defense Lawyer

"I have been litigating serious accident and wrongful death cases in Phoenix for over 20 years. When I opened up my own practice I chose Findlaw to help me market my firm. Alex Morris and my FindLaw project manager were always extremely easy to work with, they were responsive, prompt, and they provided frequent and specific advice that was helpful in developing my personal injury web site.

I have gotten many compliments regarding the site, it is an important part of my communication with existing and potential clients.  Alex Morris and the Findlaw staff have very promptly and ably responded to my needs."

-Paul Englander
Phoenix Truck Accident Lawyer

"Alex is our Law Firms representative at Findlaw.  He is very knowledgeable and responsive in performing his services for our Law Firm.  He has been helpful in designing our website, giving us recommendations for our website and solving problems when they arise with regard to our website.  Alex receives our highest recommendation and we sincerely appreciate the marketing services that he has rendered."

"In my first year with FindLaw, my website and directory listings produced a 10x return on investment."

-Tom Gorman
Arizona Criminal Law Specialist

"I left my old law firm in May 07 and started my own practice.   At that time I had an empty office and a need for clients. I had a few avenues with which I intended to garner clients. Several months before this, I paid a local firm a few thousand dollars to create a website for me. I also contracted with them to place my website on the big search engines by using very expensive sponsored links on Google and Yahoo. The click cost was upwards of $50 a click. One day when I was particularly impatient for clients I bid $95 per click on Google. This resulted in a bunch of my competitors clicking through my ad and not a single client call. Tens of thousands of dollars later (literally) I stopped the sponsored links and my placement did not result in first page search results and resulted in no clients. My internet experiment ended in January 07 with a failure. That is when I took out the yellow book ad. The yellow book ad was a little more productive and cost $2500 per month, but the leads from the yellow book were not good leads. These leads wanted everything from help with a car that grandma bought to simply wanting another payday loan. Most of the leads from yellow book did not lead to paying clients. A full page ad in yellow book results in one to five calls a week and a few clients a month. I was unsure how I could get in front of clients as a little firm.

That is when I contracted by Alex Morris.  He presented a way to offer my services to clients right alongside the big firms for a reasonable price. I was able to pay a fraction of what yellow book was costing me and I was able to have a very professional website that showed up on the search engines and competed directly with the big firms. I initially considered if this was within my budget, but within the first month I found that I could easily afford the service with the leads brought from the site. It was immediately apparent that the placement of my site was worth the money as I actually had leads forwarded from my site almost daily. I was also skeptical that they would be able to generate traffic without paying high fees for sponsored sites. The traffic proved to be there when my site went live in May and I started to build my own client base. In June I filed 13 cases in Phoenix. With continued marketing that number swelled and I was able to file 26 cases statewide in August. My filings had doubled in two months. A vast majority of those leads were generated by the Thomson West website. I have other marketing avenues that I pursue, but none are able to show as easily and concretely that there is a positive return on my investment.

"I have been a client of FindLaw for a little over 6 months. Alex has been a great asset in setting up my website and making sure it is optimized for the best results.  I know he is committed to making sure my website is a source of new business for my office.  In the six months we have had our website, I have seen an increase in new clients that have found our firm on the internet.  I also obtained a large national client that needed litigation assistance, so it is not simply small businesses or individuals that are using the internet to find an attorney.  FindLaw has more than paid for itself already and has been a great source of advertising for our firm."

-Craig Boates

"My website is doing great.  I have already received over twice as much in retainer's from internet referrals than the cost of my annual FindLaw bill.  Thanks for all you did!"

-Rebecca Owen
Phoenix Divorce Attorney

"For years I have advertised my firm using various media, including the yellow pages, various local TV guides, television, and the internet.  When I was approached by Alex Morris of Findlaw, I was very skeptical of him and Findlaw.  I had heard it all before from salesmen, and I had already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years in advertising with limited success.  I did not wish to continue that trend.  Alex's approach made sense to me, he was very knowledgeable, and I did not believe he was trying to sell me anything I did not need.  So I gave Findlaw a try.  Almost immediately after my website launched, my internet presence began paying dividends.  Within the first 2 months of advertising, I signed up a couple of significant personal injury cases, which will ultimately pay me back my advertising costs and then some.  As time passes, my internet traffic increases, and I am able to be much more selective about the cases I take.  Alex Morris delivered on his promises, and unlike all other advertising media I have tried in the past, Findlaw works!  I look forward to many successful years working with Findlaw."

-Jeffery J. Hernandez
Arizona Personal Injury Attorney

"FindLaw is an invaluable marketing tool upon which my family law practice relies heavily for new client contacts.  I recently renewed my contract for another 36 months, and have utilized FindLaw's services to set up three additional websites to promote new practice areas the firm is endeavoring to develop.

I cancelled my Yellow Pages advertisement and recently terminated relationships with two other marketing companies the firm had been using.  It was easily determined that our marketing dollars belong with FindLaw, which is bringing the firm tangible results in the way of referrals and new client retainers.   We easily receive 35-40 referrals from our FindLaw website each month, many of whom become clients.

I appreciate that our FindLaw representative, Alex Morris, is very hands-on and pro-active with developing, maintaining, and updating our website.  He is available to answer questions and to otherwise assist in helping me promote the firm on the Web.  I appreciate the opportunity to refresh the content at no additional cost, and now that it is time to redesign the site, I know that it will be done at a reasonable price.

FindLaw is definitely the best bang for the buck.  Although the monthly outlay may seem extravagant at first glance, especially for a small firm such as mine, the monetary return makes it a sound business investment."

"I have been thrilled with the service I have recieved at FindLaw.  The entire process of getting my website up and running has been pleasant, from talking to Alex about what I was trying to achieve, to working with Laura and the other folks at FindLaw to develop the content.  The writers were able to take what I provided to them and work it into a website that not only looks very professional, but really portrays who I am and the kind of image I want clients to have of me.  I wholeheartedly recommend FindLaw for creating legal websites.  The high level of personal service the FindLaw representatives provide is an unexpected added value."

-Helene S. Fenlon, Esq. Member, Helene S. Fenlon PLC

"I was initially skeptical of the claims made by Mr. Alex Morris at a recent CAALA trade show.  Generate more business than I could handle from a website?!?  Who was this guy?!?  And does he really think I believe his claims?!?  I am pleased to say, however, that the Thomson/FindLaw team delivered as promised.  Our website, alone, has in 6 months generated more significant cases than our firm generated in all of 2006.  If this keeps up, we may have to expand.  I m now a believer, courtesy of Mr. Morris."

After 3-4 years of 'trying' to use the Internet to generate business, I finally picked the right company. In our first two weeks with FindLaw, our Web site generated 22 contacts between phone calls and e-mails! I recommend the service to anyone who wants to expand their law firm's business through the Internet."

In the last few months, our FindLaw site has generated:

• A 6-figure automobile injury case
• A multi-million dollar death case
• A Chicago-based attorney referral for an automobile case in western Kentucky
• And very solid levels of new cases for our Workers' Compensation practice

I particularly appreciate your ability to help us analyze our site's performance and uncover unique opportunities. We're strongly considering a significant upgrade to our site to include video, Spanish content, and information to attract additional types of injury cases. I'm remain very confident in FindLaw's ability to deliver results for our firm.

In summary, it simply works!

Please feel free to use me as a reference for your prospective clients. The Internet is a vital tool for any firm if they work with FindLaw.

"If it weren't for FindLaw, I would probably still be practicing without full time secretarial help and barely making much more than I did as a public defender. It took me 10 years after graduating from law school to pay off about 45% of my student loans. I paid off the remaining 55% of my student loans within 10 months of my FindLaw site going online. I also managed to completely pay for a new car and take three vacations during the first year since my FindLaw site became operational. In just one year, I went from earning less than most teachers and skilled industrial workers, to making more than a lot of judges."

"I am totally pleased with my FindLaw FirmSite and Directory products. So far, my investment has resulted in actually opening one high-quality new case per month, has paid for itself several times over in less than a year and the intangible return has been even greater. Smartest marketing I've ever done."

"I have been with Findlaw for 3-4 years now. I suppose that I started before internet advertising became "cool" Initially I tried other web services. These tended to be template-built or referral type websites. They were generally a "one size fits all" arrangement. I found those results very disappointing. Based on those experiences, I entered the relationship with Findlaw with a great deal of cynicism. Fortunately, I have never been disappointed with the results from Findlaw.

As you know, I track my incoming cases pretty closely. I know which advertising is working and which is not. From the beginning, I have been keenly aware that my internet presence through Findlaw has resulted in an increase in actual cases. In fact, enough cases that each year I have increased my budget for Findlaw. The same cannot be said for my Yellow Pages budget.

In the end, Findlaw has been a very successful and cost effective means of generating new cases, not just calls or leads, but actual fee generating cases. I am happy to recommend ( and have done so ) Findlaw to any lawyer considering your services.

With kind regards,

"Our firm's experience with Thomson/FindLaw team has been positive from the outset.  The project managers are experienced, the designers are knowledgeable and accommodating, and the troubleshooters solve problems quickly with minimal fuss.  Most importantly, the product has thus far performed as advertised, if not better.  We never thought that a small firm such as ours would be able to obtain a competitive edge through website design and optimization, but the results speak for themselves.  Amazingly, our website frequently ranks as one of the top 5 results on the first page of Google searches in our targeted practice areas; sexual harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour claims, and employment discrimination in Los Angeles.  I would recommend the Thomson/FindLaw team to anyone without reservation to any practitioner who wishes to generate more business."
